In 2013, a two judge bench referred the matter for final hearing, and made it clear that nobody should suffer from lack of an Aadhaar card.\u00a0<strong>In 2014, UIDAI itself filed a petition against a Bombay HC order that had directed it to disclose biometrics in a criminal case.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>In the privacy hearing, the State said that these are all elitist concerns. They are not. There are genuine, weighty issues.<\/li>\n<li>UIDAI captures all the ten fingerprints of the individual, a facial photograph, and the two irises.\u00a0They have a template. The template scales the fingerprints. They then pick up, say, hundred distinctive points, called minutae. The UIDAI then sets a number &#8211; how many of those hundred points should match? If the number is set at 100\/100, it will never work. So UIDAI has to make a value judgment. It can&#8217;t be too high, it can&#8217;t be too low.\u00a0So you&#8217;re departing from a deterministic system to a probabilistic system.\u00a0If I have certain rights, then how can my enjoyment of those rights be made probabilistic? <em>(On how the Aadhaar System works)<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>It will become clear as this case goes on that there is almost negligible governmental oversight over this data<\/strong>. In the pre-Act era, there was no mention of biometrics in the legal instruments that governed Aadhaar. Biometric collection was patently illegal, and that illegality was not cured by the passing of the Aadhaar Act.<\/li>\n<li>While border control may take your biometrics, it is restricted to that. You&#8217;re not required to submit your fingerprints for various transactions throughout the day.<em> (On distinction between\u00a0pervasive and non-pervasive system authentication system)<\/em><\/li>\n<li>While at one point UIDAI projected that the purpose of Aadhaar was to give everyone an identity, RTI revealed that the actual number of people for whom Aadhaar was the first ID, was very small.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Background of the ongoing Aadhaar hearing:<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The 5-judge bench has sat together for the final hearing of the Aadhaar matter after the <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.scconline.com\/post\/2017\/08\/24\/9-judge-bench-declares-privacy-as-a-fundamental-right-information-family-life-sexual-orientation-are-all-part-of-privacy-judgment\/\">9-judge bench declared right to Privacy as a Fundamental Righ<\/a>t.
